Public Attitude on Juvenile Offenses -
In recent year considerable attention has been given to
the question of publicity on Juvenile offense. Most newspaper
have followed policies of not using names of Juveniles In eases
of minor offenses, an exception being that of traffic violations.
Some adults erroneously believe that It Is illegal for news
papers to use names of Juveniles, but this Is not the case, at
least In this state. It Is entirely discretionary with the news
paper and with other news media.
With the rise of Juvenile crime In the nation, however, the
attitude of news media and the public seems to be changing.
Some papers have publicly announced their Intention of us
ing names of Juvenile offenders In all cases. Some are cover
ing all Juvenile court cases and either use names or give dispos
ition of cases without names.
This paper has had the policy of not using names of Juve
niles in minor offenses and has not been covering cases In
Juvenile court.
Some revealing and Interesting facts were brought out at
the recent Oregon Newspaper Publishers convention by Hu
Blonk of the Wcnatchee Daily World, Wenatchee. Wn, in an
address to the newspapermen. He has done some thorough re
search on the matter and presented the conclusion that more
publicity should be given to Juvenile offenses.
Blonk pointed out that in many communities the public
Is not aware that there is any Juvenile problem because the
youngsters are protected by the policy of not covering these
cases.
He sent out a questionnaire, asking eight questions, and
received 1061 replies. These he broke down Into four categor
ies: General public (278 replies received); law enforcement
officers (70 replies); newspaper editors, 113 replies; and Juve
niles (601 replies)).
All groups, except the Juveniles, replied in great majority
that Juveniles' names should be used in publicity on grave
offenses, such as car theft and vandalism, on the first offense.
Newspaper editors voted 79.4 yes to 20.6 no, while the gen
eral public and officers each answered yes In 75 majority.
Juveniles voted 475 yes to 525 no, indicating that nearly
half of them felt the names should be used on first grave
offenses.
An overwhelming number In all categories said names
should be used on second grave offenses, and oddly enough,
the juveniles who were polled led the yes vote with 9&3.
Newspaper editors were lowest at 912.
None of the groups favored publication of names on first
minor offenses In the majority, but 44.4 of the officers felt
they should be published, and 38.6 of the general public
voted yes. Editors were lowest in the affirmative at 18, while
24.1 of the juveniles felt the names should be used.
Publication of names on second minor offenses brought
yes votes in the majority in all categories, from 69.9 yes
from the editors to 93.9 from the general public, while the
Juveniles voted yes, 71.9, to 28.1 no. -
A large predominance in all groups felt names should be
published in traffic offenses with Juveniles voting 65 yes
and ranging up to 875 yes on the part of officers.
All groups but Juveniles felt that publicity helps reduce
Juvenile delinquency. Of the juveniles polled, 49.5 felt it
helped reduce delinquency while 50.5 felt that it did not
Punishment given Juvenile offenders is felt inadequate by
79.1 of the public, by 68.3 of the officers, by 70.1 of the
editors, by 74.1 of all adults and by 49.3 of the Juveniles.
Only 4.7 of the Juveniles felt that punishment given Is
too severe, while 46 of them thought it was "about right"
Only 24.4 of all adults felt punishment is "about right" and
only 1.5 of them felt that it is too severe.
Judge Paul Jones, who as county judge is Juvenile judge
in this county, said Wednesday that he feels many in the
county are not aware of the extent of the Juvenile work han
dled by his court and juvenile counsellors and that the public -is
not fully aware of the cost
He said that more trouble is experienced with parents of
youngsters in trouble than with the juveniles themselves. The
Judge added that some juvenile judges are advocating pub
lication of names of all young offenders.
Every indication is that Morrow county is in fairly happy
circumstances with its juveniles, the "problem" being rather
light in comparison to other areas. But this should not put our
people in a position of smug complacency, since we, like every
county in the United States, do have a problem with juvenile
offenses.
This paper will use names of juveniles in grave offenses
where considerable property damage or personal safety is in
volved. It will continue to use reports of juveniles in traffic
cases, and we feel some delinquency in covering Juvenile cases.
Probably some of those which have not been covered should
have been reported without use of names in order that our
residents be aware of what is going on in accordance with
the "public's right to know."
Over The
Tee Cup

You golfers that didn't keep
and read your golfing letter
missed out on our first potluck
dinner after the two-ball iore-
some that turned out to be a
one-ball threesome, called "aca
pulco." This uses three players,
2 men and 1 woman, the men
alternating strokes to the green
and putting the pressure on the
'putter," mainly gals. Needless
to say, the prize is for least
putts, and Vi Lanham needed
only 15. She says, "young Pat
Kilkenny can surely chip 'em in
close." This was a real fun
game, went quickly, then we all
ate.
Supper was followed by a
game cf golf, as it had cooled
!own by then. Morrow county
has the best cooks, and this was
proven by co-chairmen, Janet
and Don Turner, and Shirley
r.nd Jack Loyd.
Our next potluck is scheduled
for July 18, so try and be out,
ana get me most out of our ac
tivities. They are sometimes
nara to figure out, interest-wise.
On Tuesday seven gals turned
out for a hot round. This golfer

Just at hot, as construction on
the freeway at The Dalles held

No prizes were awarded as all

to talk about it's loner, hillv

gals played, as invitations had
been issued to Arlington, Herm

winners were Hazel Mahoney,

Oregon Sets Mark
In Timber Harvest
As the nation's leading wood
producer for over 25 years, the
State of Oregon topped Its log
production of the past five years
with a harvest In l'MH of nearly
8.78 billion board feet of timber,
according to figures lust releas
ed by State Forester Dwtght L.
rhlpps, Oregon State forestry
Department. Salem. This was
one of six highest log producing
years In its hutory. having oeen
greater only one time since 1957,
by about 157 million In 1939.
Of the 8.779.226,000 board feet
harvested by the forest Industry
in Oregon this past year, some
4.013.032.000 board feet or about
46 percent was logged from their
own land: 2.T3J.t.ouo ooara
feet or about 32 percent from
National Forests: 1.637.656.000
board feet or about 19 percent
from Bureau of Land Manage
ment forests: 244.475.000 from
State and Municipal managed
forest lands and 90.517.000 board
feet from Indian lands.
Volume harvested from pri
vate lands Increased some 9K2.
920.000 board feet over last year,
while a decrease of 132.301,000
was reported from government
managed forest lands. This was
a complete turnabout from last
year when effects of the 1962
Columbus Day storm were still
a dominant factor In log produc
tion by ownership.
Morrow county harvested 25,-
070 thousand board feet

Tho answer (s that heaven Is o gift, not something to
bo earned. It Is the gift of God made ot tho price of
His Son's life. In Christ the simplest or vilest sinner may
find salvation from tho death decree. Ho has only to
to believe, in faith to lay hold of tho gift.
But In order to believe, tho sinner must first know
the Saviour. To know Him Is to lovo Him. To love Him
Is to follow Him, to observe His precepts. Jesus tald, "If
yo lovo me, keep my commandments." John 14:15.
Tho keeping of God's commandments when wo lovo
Him becomes a pleasure, a natural act rather than q
process of attempting to earn salvation by works. It be
comes something wo want to do In order to demonstrate
our lovo, In order to avoid wounding Him further. "Ho
that soith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments,
Is a liar, 'and tho truth Is not In him." 1 John 2:4.
This Is where faith becomes Inextricably linked with
works, for hero works become tho outgrowth, tho fruit of
loving, of knowing Jesus. Even as wo demonstrate our lovo
through deeds to our fellowmen, so through deede wo
demonstrate our lovo to God.
